It's never easy losing a friend. Especially one like Chris who had touched the lives of numerous people in our community.

And what do theater and artistic friends do for people they have lost? Celebrate their life the only way that seems appropriate for such a loss. With a gigantic benefit concert featuring the best performers Kansas City has to offer.

Many friends, family, and acquaintances gathered on a cold night, in an even colder studio, to rock their hearts out to honor Chris.
